**Disappointing Decline in Boston School International**
As a parent whose child has been enrolled at Boston School International since elementary school, I've witnessed firsthand the drastic downturn in the school's quality over the past year. With an alarming turnover rate among staff, including three different English teachers within a single academic year, it's evident that stability and consistency have become major concerns.
The recent hiring practices seem to prioritize filling positions rather than ensuring qualified educators. This compromise in standards has resulted in teachers ill-equipped for their roles, undermining the educational experience for students.
Despite initial optimism about changes within the school, it's become apparent that these changes have not been for the better. The departure of teachers mid-year, citing better opportunities and support elsewhere, reflects a troubling lack of commitment to both students and the institution itself. Furthermore, the decline extends beyond personnel to encompass the quality of school supplies, which has noticeably diminished.
While Boston School International may boast an IB curriculum, the reality is that the quality of education has regrettably diminished. Concerns regarding language proficiency among some staff members, characterized by a heavy Caribbean accent, only compound the issue.
In light of these challenges, I cannot in good faith recommend Boston School International to other parents seeking a reliable and high-quality educational institution for their children. It's evident that there are better options available, and I hope to see Boston School International reclaim its former status as a beacon of excellence in education.

The new headmaster brought in by this organization only managed the school for about two months before I made the difficult decision to resign. This was an unusual step for me, as I don’t typically leave a position mid-year, but the rapid decline in the school’s quality was undeniable. Within a single school year, approximately 10 teachers resigned, leaving classrooms without consistent educators... read full review
